Audio

MAI-Voice-2-Flash is a low-latency text-to-speech model from Microsoft AI. It generates expressive 24 kHz mono speech across 15 languages and 18 locales, with fine-grained control over tone and delivery.

It serves voice agents, assistants, call centres, accessibility and narration. Voice prompting and cloning are not offered: they need Microsoft AI-approved access and speaker consent. Hormouz serves MAI-Voice-2-Flash on two endpoints: the OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/speech, which returns the audio in the same response, and /v1/predictions for background jobs. Set voice to one of the model's own voices, for example "en-US-Harper:MAI-Voice-2", and response_format to mp3 or pcm.
